Public bug reported:
Using Intrepid Ibex current as of Nov 3.
Intel IWL3945 Wireless Card
Network: WEP w/ ASCII passphrase
When I enter the passphrase (after changing the password type from
'40/128 bit key' to '128 bit passphrase') the dots in the tray icon
would turn green, about 30 seconds would pass, and it would prompt me
for the password again.
The following showed up in /var/log/debug:
Nov 3 09:54:13 kil-asus kernel: [ 652.847571] wlan0: authenticate with AP
00:01:f4:ec:39:17

Nov 3 09:54:59 kil-asus kernel: [ 699.538635] wlan0: disassociating by local
choice (reason=3)
Every time the connection failed, the password type would switch back to
'40/128 bit key' and I noticed that the value was different from the hex
value provided on my school's website. Entering the hex key instead of
using the passphrase allowed me to connect.
